THE BRIFF
iN BRiEF

Cosmopolis. From 20 to 29 June, Brussels welcomes the BRIFF and the very
eclectic world of cinema. By welcoming Emilie Dequenne and Bouli
Lanners, it pays tribute to two immeasurable talents of Belgian cinema.
By inviting “The Artist” Michel Hazanavicius, it proves that Europe is
doing well. Very well, actually. And, it is recognized around the globe for
its audacity and its creativity, as illustrated by the selection of films of
the Directors’ Week. By proposing an international competition, it creates
a borderless section and, at the same time, offers the most famous
Lieutenant of New York Abel Ferrara, the opportunity to present a retros-
pective of his work. It is a wonderful platform for this important
representative of disruptive American filmmaking. Also other artists,
filmmakers, actresses and actors are given carte blanche during the
festival. For ten days, the BRIFF shows the unique and bustling
atmosphere of the city in the Brussels cinema’s!
                                                                               /

                                   INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

                                   The International Competition highlights a cinema for all, with emotional stories
                                   that question the world. A section that embraces the diversity of cinema and its
                                   audiences with a selection of films that addresses strong and sensitive subjects,
                                   which will resonate with all of us.

                                   For the 2019 edition, the International Competition offers fiction and
                                   documentary films that map out family chronicles, dive into political regimes,
                                   dream of pacifist utopias, flirt with a fantasy world, that are surrounded by
                                   shattered traditions, mujahidin, voodoo and the mafia. Films that tell the story of
                                   our past and present from China, Afghanistan, United Kingdom, Canada, France,
                                   Palestine, Ireland, Brazil and Macedonia, presenting promising alongside

                                Festival de Cannes 2019 - Official Competition - Jury Mention and Prix Fipresci

                                ES escapes from Palestine seeking an alternative homeland, only to find that Palestine is trailing behind
                                him. The promise of a new life turns into a comedy of errors: however far he travels, from Paris to New
                                York, something always reminds him of home. From award-winning director Elia Suleiman, a comic saga
                                exploring identity, nationality and belonging, in which Suleiman asks the fundamental question: where
                                is the place we can truly call home?

                                        ABEL FERRARA

                                        What if the camera was a natural extension of your hand? Abel Ferrara was brought
                                        up with film and started shooting amateur 8 mm films during his high school years.
                                        He was only 25 years old when he made his first feature, the highly controversial Nine
                                        Lives of a Wet Pussy, for which he worked with a number of people who would remain in
                                        his entourage for decades: composer Joe Delia and screenwriter Nicholas St. John.
                                        Abel and the Big Apple: it’s a love story that the filmmaker shares with public and
                                        critics alike, from The Driller Killer to ’R Xmas, and including The Funeral, China Girl,
                                        The King of New York, and The Addiction (nominated for the Golden Bear in Berlin in
                                        1995). Meet the New York vigilante par excellence thanks to the BRIFF!

                                        Happy Birthday Emilie !
                                        Thanks to her aunt who noticed the ad in a newspaper, Emilie Dequenne went to the
                                        casting call for Rosetta. Almost as determined as the main character, she earned the
                                        title role, at only 17 years-old. The fairy tale was only beginning: she received the Best
                                        Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 for her performance. 20 years later,
                                        The Girl on the Train, La Fille du RER, is honouring us with her presence at the BRIFF,
                                        to blow the candles of the first success of her acting career and of the Palme d’Or for
                                        Rosetta, surrounded by Fabrizio Rongione and the Dardenne Brothers. In addition,
                                        she is offering us an amazing gift: the best of her filmography.

No future? Does the classic Punk slogan define what’s in store for our world? Bouli
Lanners begs to differ and provides a wake-up call. In the face of climate changes and
the dangers inherent in nuclear power, the actor-director from Liège presents four
films that are meant to get us to react immediately. Animation, fiction, documentary
and short, all genres are appropriate when it’s about saving our world.

VIRGIL VERNIER

With fourteen films, of which six feature-length ones, Virgil Vernier has made a name
for himself as one of the most exciting French filmmakers of the moment. Freely
navigating between fiction and documentary, he is involved in a unique exploration of
hypermodernity and the world today. Virgil Vernier’s presence at BRIFF will be an
opportunity to discuss his latest film Sofia Antipolis (in the Directors’ Week
competition) as well as several of his previous films.
